tinytimetravel:“An unappreciative audience”, Omaha [NB] “Daily Bee”, 7/14/1914 [p.1]. William Jennings Bryan, then-Secretary of State, is depicted as standing on an enormous bag of money marked as aid for Latin America. “We can afford to be generous”, he says, while an American “wage worker”, his wife and child, and a child laborer look on. The woman is labeled “ice less” because she is too poor to afford ice. In the summer, the heat was considered a health issue, particularly for children. -- source link
